XOX Audio Tools is making these limited edition carbon fiber electric guitars called "The Handle" and they are auctioning off on eBay #100, the last of the limited edition, to benefit Guitars not Guns, a not for profit organization that I work with that provides guitars and guitar lessons to foster kids and at risk and disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada. Check it out. It is pretty amazing:
Well, the video clip shows a very good player using the guitar; but through tons of distortion then tons of delay/echo. Any guitar can sound pretty decent when it's processed that way. It would have done the instrument more justice to have someone play it clean, so you know how the guitar itself sounds; then maybe with some drive/distortion; then if necessary, with other effects. As shown on the clip, I don't have any desire to own one. however, I applaud your desire to give to the community and support a peaceful charity. I hope that this auction is successful for them.
